      Note: This is no longer an available option in iOS 12 beta 4 or 5. The option has been removed, pending some other showstopper bugs in Screen Time. There is a series of feature regressions that break Screen Time across devices. All settings set from the “Parent” device are instantly reverted and ignored on that device and never pushed to the managed “Child” devices.

    2. On Mac, The data appears again after turning back on the screen time.
